a means of access to a number of plots and the width of such means of access is not
less than 9 m. the Planning Authority may improve the passage at public cost and
thereafter take steps under the Act to declare it to be public street, subject to the
provisions of applicable local authority act, if any.

the minimum required, the Planning Authority may remove the same and recover the
expenses so incurred from the owner;

(iii). the user assigned to the plot in the development plan.
The value of FSI and DR for various land uses are hereunder.
1) FSI for Residential Land use (R 1, R 2 Zone)
The permissible FSI in the Residential Zone is as per the table 10.
i) The basic FSI for any plot is 1.0 and any additional FSI above 1.0 will be

plot size and the right-of-way. The maximum FSI allowed in the group housing
schemes will be 2.0.
iv) Maximum FSI allowed for Rental Housing is 4.0 in accordance with the provisions
of Regulation 8.40. The provisions of Govt. Notification No. TPS 1208 / MMR / CR

maximum allowed FSI.
ii) The respective permissible additional FSI shall be calculated for the area falling
within the belt width mentioned for respective R.o.W. on which the plot is abutting,

although the FSI may be consumed in part of plot which is not falling within the
mentioned belt width. Provided that in case of overlapping of two or more different
widths of belts, the development for additional FSI will be granted for the category of
